A further object of the invention is to provide an attachment in thenature of a harrow which can be quickly applied to the cultivator frameupon the removal of the cultivators.

With these and other objects in view, this invention resides in thenovel features of construction, formation, combination and arrangementof parts to be hereinafter more fully described, claimed and illustratedin the accompanying drawing, in which Figure 1 is a perspective view ofa cultivator frame, showing the attachment applied thereto. Fig. 2 is atop plan view of one of the harrows removed. Fig. 3 is a sectional viewon line 3-3 of Fig. 2. Fig. 1- is a rear elevation of the cultivatorframe showing the harrows attached thereto.

Referring to the drawing, the numeral 1 designates the frame of aconventional type of cultivator and in connection therewith the harrowattachment is used.

A pair of harrows 2 are employed and consist of beams 3, upon theforward ends of which are connected clips 4;. Pivotally 0011* nected tothe clips and upon opposite sides of the beams 3 are bars 5 and 6, thebars 6 being of greater length than the bars 5 so that greater harrowingarea is obtained.

To the beams 3 are connected the hooked ends 11 of the bolts 12, saidbolts being engaged in the slots formed in the arms 18, the inner endsof which are arranged in overlapping relation. The slots are indicatedby the numerals 14.

Engaged upon the upper ends of the bolts 12 are hand nuts 15, the samebeing operable to hold the arms 13 in adjusted positions, whereby thebars 5 and 6 can be adjusted and retained in their proper convergingrelations.

Mounted on the beams 3 are brackets 16 which are engaged by the usualhangers 17.
